Yamaha CR Power Switch Preservation

Exterminate!
I've read that the power switch destruction on the CR 2020, 3020 etc. happens when powered down. Now just spitballing here, but would it make sense to install a switch in the line and turn it on an off externally or would the damage still happen?

I'm asking because I have yet to send my CR 2020 off for restoration and service bulletin work and I would rather not blow up that switch while I use it. I also don't want it to sit idle since that's not good for anything electronic either.
 
Essentially. Yes.
Its the disconnect arcing that does the most damage to a switch. If the switch is left in the ON position and let the power strip switch take the beating.
